I like how you were able to squeeze in some colour into this challenge. Since I am viewing this after the marshmellow peeps challenge, I wonder if that was the fate of these little guys...
This made me smile - and I thought it might have been someone else's who does very fun things with peeps. As for the flat light - I think it may be more of a need to whiten the white of your background. One way to do that is with a levels adjustment; another may be with the white balance in RAW if you're shooting in RAW. You did a good job of avoiding reflections and hot spots on the silverware itself (hard to do!) and I really do like the color added by the peeps.
Couldn't wait to see if there is a peeps challenge coming up, could you? I love peeps. If they would quit making them in different shapes for every holiday, I would have a chance to overcome my addiction.
Decent idea, though in the execution, I find the lighting to be a bit bland, and the comp jsut does not work for me. A close up of a single peep impaled on the fork may have had more impact. Got any outtakes to show after the challenge?
I think the peepes actually take away from the silverware because they are so bright and the lighting is so flat. Also, it might have been a little more interesting if the peeps were in the corners instead of on the edges, but that my opinion.
something doesn't quite work for me ... not quite sure exactly what, I think it's the background that is putting me off, it's a bit too off white (maybe manual white balance would have helped)
